VABO-80 is designed by advanced engineering technology to test circuit-breaker vacuum bottles up to 80 kV DC. VABO-80 has a fast, easy and accurate measurement features by its user-friendly software. VABO-80 is a battery-powered device (optional feature), which allows users to perform tests even without power supply during on-field tests.
The VABO-80 is a lightweight, rugged device designed to test vacuum bottle interrupters using DC voltages from 5 kV to 80 kV. Users can select voltage in 1 kV steps and set the test time between 5 seconds and 2 minutes. It features preset leakage current limits (100 μA, 200 μA, 300 μA) and automatically passes or fails the test based on these limits. The device alerts users with both visual and audible signals if high voltage is present.
The VABO-80 includes a 4.3-inch touch display, built-in printer, and supports data storage via USB or internal memory. It is IP67 rated for field use and compatible with the HighTest Data Management Platform (DMP) for analysis and reporting.
Testing vacuum bottle interrupters is critical for ensuring the reliability of circuit breakers, which must function properly to prevent faults in electrical power systems. Over time, contaminants can compromise vacuum interrupters, so regular testing, as recommended by standards like IEC and IEEE, helps maintain their integrity.
